Debit Card Challenge

May 28th, 2010 at 01:14 am

A few of us on the Dave Ramsey site started a debit card challenge. Most of us don't give it a second thought to whip out the debit card to make a purchase. Unfortunately, it may cause you to overspend your budget. What we have decided to try and do is to break the habit and start using cash more. You can personalize the challenge as you wish, for example, I will only use my card for gas or other online payments that I have set-up against my card. Everything else will be paid for with cash.

If you slip up, just pick yourself up and start again. Are there any takers out there? You can join in at your leasure.

I'm Back!!

I'm happy to say that I made it back from my year long deployment to Iraq. I got back stateside around the beginning of the month and I must say I'm truly happy to be back home with my family. I tell ya, it takes you going to a place like that to appreciate the small things in life. Like your space and not having to brush your teeth with bottled water just to name a few.

Well I just wanted to drop a quick line and there will be more to come as I get FOCUSED on prepping for my retirement in 2012...
